Web Hosting / Web Servers
How do you choose the right web hosting company? A quick search on Google shows that there are over 124 million pages infiltrating the market with web hosting company options. These companies offer a wide range of web hosting services, web hosting options, web hosting prices, and web hosting support. Most of these web hosting companies are web hosting resellers who get a good deal from the real hosting service so they can focus on marketing their "optional services".
Why should RL Computer Solutions be my web hosting company? Contrary to most web hosting companies, RL Computer Solutions is focussed on computer networking and computer security. Since the world wide web, or internet is the largest network in the world, doesn't it make sense that you choose a web hosting company that can provide expert customer support to make sure that your website is on the net?
I don't speak geek and I don't understand foreign customer support This is where experience comes in. With over 15 years of Web development experience and 15 years of networking services, RLCS can explain things to you in a language that you are comfortable with, no matter your level of computer knowledge or industry.
OK, now for the real questions:

- Q. What kind of Operating Systems / Web Server Applications do you use?
- A. RLCS embraces the security and stability of the Unix and Linux based operating systems. These are the same type of operating systems that Google and Microsoft use for their web servers. Although some of our servers are running Ruby WEBrick and also have a few servers running on a Windows operating system for our clients who desire IIS/ASP/.NET, our major HTTP server software is Apache for stability, security and flexibility reasons.
- Q. How do you monitor your servers?
- A. Most of our servers are local and actively monitored manually at our headquarters or at our competent associate locations. We also have field testers throughout the globe to verify that your site is being accessed from everywhere. Additionally, we use the Nagios network monitoring system for anything we might miss
- Q. Experts in the field, usually that means it costs more. What is your pricing for hosting?
- A. Because most hosting companies that you find on the web are resellers, and not actually web hosting experts, they tack on extra cost so they can make money. Because these we are the web hosting company, we keep our prices competitive with others, with the soundness of mind of having networking and web application experts at the helm (see pricing schedule below)
